It is unfortunate that the author is adopting the strategy "make the big lie, make it simple, keep saying it and eventually everybody will believe it". In any case the alternative one democratic state solution is clear. I guess it would be even better to have Jordan (the rest of the original promised land) and its citizen as part of this state.

11. Mistakes

The biggest mistake Bibi made was to
give recognition to the concept of a Palestinian people entitled to their own state on 'disputed' territory?
How does Israel intend disentangling itself from this?
Bibi recently requested the Levy report but wont accept it's findings!!
When will this zig zagging stop?
If Bibi and Leiberman want to win the upcoming election they had better make their policies clear.
Land for Peace is dead!!

13. End Israeli retreats permanently.

The author is spot on. VIrtually all of Israel's serious problems are direct results of Israeli retreats. We must end the policy of Israeli retreat permanently. We should do the opposite. Retake our liberated lands we so foolishly abandoned.

14. Facts given by Calic not true

Balfour Declaration did not give Palestine to the Jews as claimed by Calic.
It gave the Jews a National Home in Palestine on condition that this would not jeopardize the rights of the other peoples in that country.

17. "In 2000 constuction began ......."

This Calic is supposed to be a knowledgable academic. He is either stupid or a blatent liar.
The 2nd Intifada increased the terror attacks and the numbers of casualties. Only in July 2002 did the govt decide to build a security barrier.

We didn't withdraw from Jordan nor Lebanon . Border with Syria quiet because the Assad's know that they could have be smashed harshly if they provoke problems on their border . And for them we "occupy" their Golan . With Egypt and Jordan it's NOT peace , but a "no war" situation .

20. Correction

For the record the year construction began on the barrier was 2002.
Please excuse the slight error.
